STUDENT PROGRESS CENTER | BCA Bayou Community Academy (2024)

INSTRUCTIONS

Parents of children attending Bayou Community Academy may track their children’s progress via the Internet. Using the Student Progress Center, a parent can check a child’s attendance, grades, assignments, discipline, transcript, and state test scores. JPAM also offers the parents and guardians of BCA information via phone calls. The numbers that were placed on your child’s school registration form are the numbers that the calling system will call until a guardian is reached. These phone calls occur if a child is absent, tardy, checked out of school before a certain time frame, if a discipline referral is entered on that student or if a grade and/or assignment is missing or if the student earned a letter grade of an “F”.

The JPAM calling system will leave a message stating that it is the “Principal calling from Bayou Community Academy” and it will state the reason for the call.

For security purposes, in order to create an account for the online Student Progress Center, a parent must supply information that matches the information contained in the school’s computer system.

If you receive a message as shown below, click “OK”. Verify your information, and then try again. If this does not work, please contact the Secretary at school to verify your information against what is contained in the computer system.
The usual problems are related to…

  • Names provided don’t match names in the system. Example: “Christina” was entered as a parent first name, but the computer system has “Christine”. Check the name on the student information form. Is it the same as the one used to create the account?
  • The “PSN” field does not match the number in the computer system. Check against the PSN number on the student information form, or with the Secretary to verify.
